Because his enemies point out that he will be 81 before he finishes another six-year term, he is at present abnormally sensitive about his age, offers to beat any of his critics at tennis.

Guided by her most passionate emotion-a consuming hatred of Hitler-Columnist Thompson began writing with shrill assurance that startled readers. As insistent as a katydid, never at a loss for an answer, almost invariably incensed about something, her column has pleased a national appetite for being scolded.
